Govern the system
Portfolio and project governance sized to the risk—never heavier than it needs to be.
Perth, Western Australia · probably awake
One bloke.
Too many systems.
I’m Jeff. I lead a Project Management Office by day — cyber, cloud and IT delivery — and build software companies by night. I automate the boring bits, run a small nation-state’s worth of infrastructure, and give servers names that sound like your mates at the pub.

01 / THE OPERATOR
Founder energy.
Operator habits.
Jeff turns messy, high-stakes work into calm, governed systems—then builds the software to run them.
By day he leads a Project Management Office, governing portfolios of IT, cyber security and corporate initiatives across enterprise environments in the public and private sectors. PRINCE2 Practitioner, agile where it helps, and a genuine believer that a working delivery beats a beautiful slide deck.
The track record spans Essential Eight and cyber uplift programs, cloud migrations, and IT asset management engagements that have driven seven-figure savings—plus building and coaching the teams that deliver them. Deep in the technical detail, comfortable in the executive briefing.
After hours he builds software: automating the boring bits, wiring up agentic AI, and giving servers names that sound like your mates at the pub. “Good enough” is usually followed by “now make it out of this world.”

06 / CURRENTLY
The now page.
What’s got my attention lately.
- BUILDING A portfolio of SaaS products — project delivery, access governance, queues and civic data.
- LEADING A Project Management Office: standing up PowerBI portfolio reporting and agentic AI for PMs.
- LEARNING How far agentic AI can be pushed into real delivery workflows without losing the plot.
- RUNNING A small fleet of servers with silly names doing genuinely useful work across WA.
05 / OPERATING DOCTRINE
“Can we automate it?”
Usually followed by doing exactly that.
Curious enough to start. Stubborn enough to finish.
Technically online.
07 / FIELD NOTES
Occasional
transmissions.
Short notes on delivery, governance, infrastructure and building things that don’t fall over.
Proportionate, not heavy
The fastest way to kill a small project is to govern it like a large one. Match the ceremony to the risk.

Memorable infrastructure gets looked after. Bazza, Shazza and friends earn their nicknames.

Letting project managers interrogate the framework and artefacts in plain English — friction, gone.
